    Availability of 175 Match Kings?

    If you don't mind paying 28 cents a bullet for mil surp pulls, go to http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-reloading/snipers-hide-reloading/snipers-hide-reloading/www.upammosupply.com...their pulled bullets are top quality and shoot just about the same as new SMK 175s. I have ordered...

    Suppressors coping with changes from my cans

    What kind of suppressor did you buy?! I have a home grown one from here in AL made by a small mfr. and it does all that it's supposed to...reduces recoil, suppresses sound so that no ear pro is needed, and my POI change is about 3 MOA at 6 o'clock. I had an issue with it recently on subsonic...

    Am I Expecting too Much from my Modified Remington 700?

    Instead of the powders you have used, you might consider Reloader 15 or IMR 4064. I shoot both and both will deliver excellent performance in a 308. I have never used TAC before. Something else you might wish to consider is cartridge overall length. If you are shooting a COAL of 2.800...

    Suppressors subsonic suppressed rounds stringing low after first shot?

    Yes, I am not too fond of the idea of it being different than before. I don't know about my strength being that great, but I certainly don't have to crank down on it as before. I will continue to shoot some rounds through it to ensure this is indeed the issue, but for now, it seems that this...

    F T/R Competition LC brass for club level F/TR

    I will tell you that if you want to shoot long range, that 1:12 twist barrel isn't sufficient to stablize a 190 grn bullet. I shoot 175 matchkings and 178 A-Max in my 1:11.25 twist and I could shoot 180 grn bullets, but nothing heavier out past a few hundred yards. Recommend you drop down to...

    Suppressors subsonic suppressed rounds stringing low after first shot?

    Again, I really appreciate all the info and advice...you all are a good crowd to converse with. So I did as was directed...I loaded up some rounds with the original load that worked well originally, 175 grn SMK, 10 grn TB, WLR, and Win brass. I fired 5 rounds without the suppressor...nice...

    Suppressors subsonic suppressed rounds stringing low after first shot?

    First, I appreciate all the replies. Yes, I hand loaded all of these rounds. Each one was individually measured for COAL and powder charge weight (9 grns + or - .1 grn), and each one was 2.800 plus or minus a couple of thousandths. The barrel was dirty. Yes, I do remove my suppressor after...

    Suppressors subsonic suppressed rounds stringing low after first shot?

    Suppressor stays tight...I have checked it often. I took a look into the suppressor with a flash light...very difficult to see well, but does appear to have some shiny spots. Hopefully this hasn't ruined the suppressor performance with subsonics. The entire suppressor is made with titanium...

    Suppressors subsonic suppressed rounds stringing low after first shot?

    Hello all, I am new to the art of suppressed shooting and can't figure this one out. Acquired a suppressor within the last few months. This suppressor shot great when I first received it, and still shoots sub .5 MOA with standard velocity rounds in 308 Win. However, its performance with...
